Gatekeeper of all realms

Shen Ye collected the motorcycle.

——Xiao Mengyu didn’t look much at the ring on his hand, as if he was used to it.

The two of them identified the direction and quickly approached the direction of the stream holding the burning candle.

A few minutes later.

By the stream.

The two stood blankly with their swords drawn.

——There are no remains of any statues here.

Because of the rain, the stream swelled, almost forming a fast-flowing river.

Standing on the shore and looking around, there are only rapids and rocks.

The wind between heaven and earth became louder.

It seemed like something was really coming.

No, there are no clues at all. Let's find a shelter immediately. Shen Ye looked at the stream and said quickly.

Xiao Mengyu stared at him with burning eyes:

Stop lying. Just do whatever you want. At times like this, you have to follow your instincts instead of treating me as a burden.

Shen Ye sighed.

She only had a slight feeling, and she couldn't bear to look away from the stream, but she immediately noticed it.

Then hurry up!

He opened his arms, fell into the stream with a plop, and was immediately swept away by the rapids.

Xiao Mengyu jumped up and down on the rocks, following him all the way.

The two of them, one underwater and one above the water, gradually moved away along the stream.

The surrounding scenery became darker and darker.

The black air blew across the stream and stirred up countless fallen leaves in the woods, just like frightening the densely packed birds.

Xiao Mengyu looked anxious.

Several minutes have passed.

Even if he has good strength, he is still just an ordinary fifteen-year-old human being who cannot stay underwater for a long time.

Not to mention that the stream was full of rocks and I had seen him get hit several times.

If he doesn't get up, he will be in danger!

Xiao Mengyu grabbed the cards and took a look, only to see two lines of small words displayed on the cards:

The last 30 seconds.

The tide of mourning is coming.

no solution anymore!

Xiao Mengyu continued to fly on the stream.

underwater.

Shen Ye was still moving along the current, occasionally getting up to take a breath.

The sword suddenly erupted with a sharp cry.

The next moment.

Black mist appeared between the sky and the earth, appearing from all directions like a tide and sweeping in.

Chen Ye...

Xiao Mengyu was anxious, but was afraid of interrupting Shen Ye's search, so she could only follow cautiously.

Sudden.

The great sword rushed forward and struck with a fierce slash.

Something in the black mist seemed to have been struck, and a sharp wail erupted.

When the thing retracted, the black mist opened up, allowing Xiao Mengyu to see clearly——

A huge centipede that is as long as a train, its steel-like carapace is dark red, and it continuously emits clouds of poisonous mist.

This kind of thing...

Xiao Mengyu looked around.

Endless black mist surrounded the stream, and there were rustling sounds everywhere.

No.

Not just the giant centipede.

There must be more terrifying monsters hidden in the black mist!

At this time, the sinking night under the stream finally stopped.

The streams converged here, forming a deep pool, and he was diving towards the deep pool.

——Looks like we’ve found a place!

Xiao Mengyu perked up and shouted: Dajian, let's buy him some time.

The great sword erupted with a buzzing sound.

One person and one sword stood back to back, waiting with bated breath.

Sudden.

The giant centipede emerged from the black mist again.

The long sword immediately came forward and erupted with a sword energy several meters long, directly slashing him away.

Xiao Mengyu did not move, still guarding in front of the deep pool.

Gu Gu Gu——

Amidst a deep sound, a giant hand quietly appeared on the other side of the pool.

This hand, together with the arm behind it, was simply larger than the centipede just now. The surface was covered with dense eyeballs, all staring at Xiao Mengyu.

Xiao Mengyu had never seen such a terrifying thing before?

Those eyeballs seemed to have some kind of mental deterrent, so that Xiao Mengyu froze in place.

- She can't move!

The giant hand dropped down silently and stretched towards the pool.

Xiao Mengyu was unable to move, but her watery eyes suddenly froze.

No.

Shen Ye was still underwater.

Can't let it go down——

Never!

Xiao Mengyu woke up as if he had been electrocuted, and a wave of substantial mental power erupted all over his body. He pulled out the Luoshui Sword from his waist, ran the sword technique with all his strength, and roared hysterically:

kill!

Senhan's sword energy gathered into a bright sword light, swept across the pond, and slashed hard at the giant hand.

The giant hand retracted into the black mist with unimaginable agility.

The next second.

The big sword rushed back and struck a few more swords into the black mist, as if venting his anger.

As soon as it came back, Xiao Mengyu calmed down.

She gasped for air, her whole body was shaking, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

But no.

Now is not the time to give up.

I have to guard here, at least until he comes back!

Xiao Mengyu gritted her silver teeth, held Luo Shui tightly with one hand, pulled out Can Xue with her backhand, and set up a sword stand on the spot.

The black fog continues to spread.

Sudden.

Just listen to crash and water splashes everywhere.

Shen Ye emerged from the water.

He hugged something tightly and landed on the big rock where Xiao Mengyu was standing.

Xiao Mengyu said happily:

found it?

Yes, let's leave quickly and find a shelter first! Shen Ye said hurriedly.

In his hand he held a piece of wood covered with slippery moss.

It’s actually wood!

Although Xiao Mengyu was surprised, he also knew that this was not the time to ask.

The two jumped ashore together, and under the protection of the big sword, they ran through the jungle and towards the mountain at high speed.

How far is it?

Soon!

Oops, look, there's nothing on the mountain wall in front of you. It's a dead end!

fine.

Xiao Mengyu drew out the Luoshui Sword and slashed forward with all his strength.

Rocks and debris.

She kept taking action, and a sword turned into an afterimage, striking the hard mountain wall.

Hua la la la——

Small, broken stones were scattered all over the ground.

Looking at the mountain wall again, a crack has been cut for two people to enter and exit.

Okay! Xiao Mengyu said.

Shen Ye sighed and murmured: How comfortable is it to use a sword? I want to learn swordsmanship.

Didn't you learn some sword skills from the big sword?

Oh, that's right.

The two of them got into the crack while talking.

The big sword floated outside, and after they took cover, it flew forward and blocked the gap.

It was dark and foggy outside.

Gradually, the mist turned into dark red, like flowing blood.

Countless wailing sounds came from the blood mist, becoming increasingly harsh and loud.

Some too strong auras emitted through the blood mist.

Just feeling this kind of breath makes people feel intimidated and suffocated.

this moment.

All the candidates suddenly realized.

——It turns out that it was just an appetizer, and now the wave of mourning has just arrived!

Xiao Mengyu observed the blood mist outside without blinking for a while, then suddenly remembered something and looked back.

Shen Ye was seen squatting there, muttering to the piece of wood.

Is your resonance direction like plants? Xiao Mengyu asked curiously.

I don't know either. Shen Ye smiled bitterly.

I floated in the water for so long before I found the source of that feeling——

It's this piece of wood.

It was buried at the bottom of the pool and it didn't even float. I don't know how many years it had been buried.

Such a hidden place...

Has anyone discovered it before?

Anyway, when I discovered it, I immediately saw the small words floating above its head:

???Wood.

The sacred tree sculpture under the moon.

It’s made under the moonlight!

Shen Ye coughed lightly, clasped his hands to the wood and said:

Wood, wood, if you were a statue of a god, could you protect us and help us survive the tide of mourning?

There was silence.

The wood was motionless.

Is it really a statue of a god? Xiao Mengyu asked uncertainly.

yes.

Shen Ye said.

--its not right.

I have 9 points of resonance, plus the 20 points brought by the divine light under the moon, that is 29 points of resonance.

This number is the highest attribute value I have ever seen.

Brother, please help us. Cover us.

Shen Ye said.

Click click click click click.

Amidst the noise, Shen Ye looked down.

I saw that the wood had grown roots and was deeply rooted into the ground, with green branches and leaves growing all over it.

——It seems to have come alive!

A line of small words appeared on the tree trunk:

Provide water, sunshine, and fertilizer to me so that I can grow up and protect you.

This condition is not difficult!

Xiao Mengyu also noticed the movement here, and she said, You find a way to feed it, and I'll keep an eye on the movement outside.

Okay! Shen Ye responded.

The first thing is to get some water.

This is not difficult!

Last time I went to Nightmare World, I prepared some food and drinks in advance, including mineral water!

Shen Ye touched the ring, took out a bottle of water, and sprinkled it on the roots of the wood.

Unexpectedly, the water rolled back and forth on the roots, but could not penetrate.

On the wood, the word water in the small characters remained unchanged.

Isn't it enough?

Shen Ye poured another bottle of mineral water.

Unexpectedly, a line of small words suddenly jumped out from the wood:

The water this tree needs is water rich in nutrients. It must have the following ingredients:

Water, fructose syrup, white sugar, food additives (carbon dioxide, phosphoric acid, caffeine), food flavors.

——This wood has been buried under the stream for countless years. Now it has just come out and it is eager for carbonated drinks!

I told you earlier, I have a few bottles here.

Shen Ye opened a bottle of carbonated drink and poured it on the roots of the tree.

All the drink immediately penetrates into the roots.

Water is crossed out.

Only sunshine and fertilizer are left.

Sunlight--

How can there be sunshine here?

Bring a candle and light it up! Shen Ye shouted.

Okay. Xiao Mengyu shined the candle on the wood.

The wood trembled slightly.

A note appeared next to sunshine in the line of small characters:

Not enough sunshine.
